Comments	The "Good" is the amount of things to photograph. On the first 3 dives I observed a rare Hairy Ghost Pipefish, two varieties of pigmy seahorses, leaf scorpionfish, a crocadile fish, all the normal reef fish and a promise that it would get better. The "Bad" would be the small dive boats. With 4 divers and a 3 man crew, they are crowded. Tawali is a new resort that is situated on the side of a hill overlooking a reef. There are many things for non divers to keep occupied with. This is another dive spot I would highly recommend.
